Better for who exactly?
I don't think discussing prices at a Four Season's hotel restaurant anywhere in the world is a measure of the average local lifestyle. Although in fairness the FS Buenos Aires represents very good value compared to their other properties elsewhere in the world - the likes of which I am currently seeing quite a few of my Argentine acquaintances enjoying in far flung corners of the globe flooding my IG feeds.
Mid-term elections in just over two months (26OCT) will be the moment of truth to see if for the average Argentine things are actually improving or not, after all hunger will usually drive change while satisfied bellies will usually seek to maintain the status-quo. Price comparisons with New York or London or the Four Seasons or Dominos are entirely irrelevant for local voters, while they are may be relevant for globalised expats who at the very least have the luxury of choosing (or having chose) where in the world they live and spend their money.
